Who founded the first zoo?

The zoo, as everyone knows, is a place where animals living on earth today are kept and demonstrated to visitors.

Why are wild animals kept in zoos? The most important reason is that everyone is interested in animals. Another reason is that scientists have the opportunity to learn a lot of important things by studying the life of animals. Watching how animals behave, what they eat, how they grow, you can learn a lot not only about them, but also about people.

So, the zoo is like a school for studying both animals and people. And, perhaps, this explains why the first zoo, about which we know something, was called the "knowledge park". It was founded in 1150 BC. e. Chinese emperor, and it had many kinds of deer, birds and fish. Although it was somewhat similar to modern zoos, there was one significant difference: it was probably not open to the public, but was kept for the entertainment of the emperor and his court.

Since it costs a lot of money to complete a zoo and maintain it, in ancient times only kings and the rich started them. Many of them owned collections of rare birds, fish and animals of all kinds.

The world's first real public zoo was opened in Paris in 1793. It was the famous "Jardin de Plante". It contained animals, a museum and a botanical garden.

The next big zoo was opened in 1829, in Regent's Park in London. Then came the Berlin Zoo, which was opened in 1844 and became one of the most remarkable in the world.

In the United States, the first zoo was opened in Philadelphia in 1874, followed by a zoo in Cincinnati the following year, in 1875.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Created an artificial pancreas 25.02.2020

Canadian scientists at McGill University in Montreal have created a new artificial pancreas system that will provide vital support for people living with type 1 diabetes.

Insulin pumps have been around for over 30 years. Using these portable devices, people living with diabetes manually select the dose of insulin they need, which is then pumped into the bloodstream. Despite the fact that most patients already use automatic glucose monitors to monitor their blood glucose levels, and do not prick their fingers every time, as they used to, few people manage to maintain glucose targets for a long time. Some people are in a state of hyperglycemia most of the time, accompanied by headaches and weakness, while others regularly experience hypoglycemia, which causes dizziness, confusion and impaired speech.

Scientists at McGill University have developed a "smart" insulin pump, an artificial pancreas with the ability to eliminate high and low glucose levels that reduce quality of life and can cause long-term health complications.

Study leader Dr. Ahmad Haidar began his work when the first commercially available automated glucose sensors were first available. Dr. Haidar has developed an algorithm that, based on the readings from the sensor, tells the insulin pump how much insulin to inject.

"It was a wonderful coincidence," the scientist said in a press release, "because the automatic sensor made it possible to create an artificial pancreas system."

Today, McGill University's Artificial Pancreas Laboratory has 12 full-time researchers and 45 external employees working on the creation of an artificial organ. This is the only scientific team in Canada involved in such developments.

Many of the results obtained in the laboratory are unique. In particular, scientists conducted an experiment on the delivery of the second hormone - pramlintide. The researchers expect that the combined action of pramlintide and insulin will be more effective than insulin alone.
